I'm loving all this !

BIG THANKS to PF for sharing all this.

Exactly. What made the shop special was lost sight of but then fashion is always changing so maybe they had to?

Since Baracuta repositioned themselves in the market place a couple of years they have become ubiquitous - Preston from The Ordinary Boys and any number of dullards. I stick to a Grenfell now.

By the way, good to have people like Patrick aboard - makes a change from all the Chenners style gubbins - occasionally amusing but good to have some proper input from those who were there. Salut.

It was fashion for most and you'd see people who we would say had 'gone off' when you saw them in flares and with hair down to their collars. Lots of blokes changed their style when they got married or were seriously courting. I never did desipite getting hitched quite young.
Shopping got harder in those years as you could get certain items like the classic shirts and shoes but other things took a bit more legwork. You could still do it though.

Luque rods are custom contoured metal rods that are fixed to each segment (vertebra) in the affected part of the spine. The main advantage is that the patient may not need to wear a cast or brace after the procedure. The main disadvantage is that the risk of injury to the nerves and spinal cord is higher than with a some other forms of instrumentation. This is because wires must be threaded through each vertebra near the spinal column, increasing the risk of such damage. Luque rods are sometimes used to treat scoliosis.


The Harrington Rod is one of the oldest and most proven forms of spinal instrumentation. It is used to straighten and stabilize the spine when curvature is greater than 60 degrees. It is an appropriate treatment for scoliosis.
Advantages of the Harrington rod are its relative simplicity of installation, the low rate of complications, and a proven record of reducing curvature of the spine. The main disadvantage is that the patient must remain in a body cast for about six months, then wear a brace for another three to six months while the bone fusion solidifies.
